Orthopaedics Doctor

Orthopaedics is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and rehabilitation of disorders and injuries related to the musculoskeletal system. This system includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. Orthopaedic specialists, also known as orthopaedic surgeons, are trained to treat a wide variety of conditions, ranging from acute injuries (such as fractures and sprains) to chronic conditions like arthritis or degenerative diseases.

Key Areas of Orthopaedics:

1. Bone and Joint Care

• Fractures and Dislocations: Treatment for broken bones or dislocated joints, including both surgical and non-surgical methods.
• Joint Replacement Surgery: Surgical replacement of worn-out or damaged joints, such as hip, knee, or shoulder replacements, to restore function and alleviate pain.
• Osteoarthritis: Management of degenerative joint diseases, often with physical therapy, medications, or surgery.
• Scoliosis: Treatment for spinal deformities such as abnormal curvatures of the spine.

2. Sports Injuries

• Ligament Tears (e.g., ACL, MCL): Diagnosis and repair of torn ligaments in the knees or other joints, often caused by sports or physical activity.
• Tendon Injuries: Management of tendon damage, such as in the rotator cuff (shoulder) or Achilles tendon (ankle).
• Sprains and Strains: Non-surgical treatment and rehabilitation for muscle or ligament injuries caused by sports or accidents.
• Stress Fractures: Treatment of fractures caused by repetitive stress, common in athletes or those engaging in high-impact activities.

3. Pediatric Orthopaedics

• Congenital Disorders: Treatment for children born with musculoskeletal conditions, such as clubfoot or hip dysplasia.
• Growth Plate Injuries: Special care for injuries to the growing bones of children and adolescents.
• Skeletal Deformities: Management of conditions like bowlegs or knock-knees that can be corrected in childhood.

4. Spinal Disorders

• Back Pain: Management of chronic or acute back pain caused by conditions such as herniated discs, sciatica, or spinal stenosis.
• Spinal Surgery: Surgeries for severe spinal conditions, including fusions, decompressions, or corrections for scoliosis and other spinal deformities.
• Cervical and Lumbar Issues: Treatment for neck and lower back pain, often caused by disc degeneration or nerve compression.

5. Arthroscopy and Minimally Invasive Surgery

• Arthroscopic Surgery: A minimally invasive procedure for diagnosing and treating joint problems, typically in the knee, shoulder, or ankle, using a small camera and surgical instruments.
• Tendon and Ligament Repair: Less invasive procedures to repair tears and injuries in the tendons or ligaments.

6. Sports Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy

• Rehabilitation Services: Post-surgery or post-injury therapy to restore movement and strength. This may include physical therapy, exercises, and other rehabilitation methods.
• Pain Management: Management of chronic pain due to arthritis, musculoskeletal disorders, or injury recovery through various treatments such as injections, physical therapy, and medications.

7. Musculoskeletal Tumors

• Benign and Malignant Tumors: Diagnosis and treatment of bone cancers or benign growths in the musculoskeletal system, with options for surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy.

8. Hand and Upper Limb Surgery

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Surgical and non-surgical treatment for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, which affects the nerves in the wrist and hand.
• Fractures of the Hand and Wrist: Treatment for broken bones in the hand, fingers, or wrist.
• Reconstructive Surgery: Surgical procedures to restore the function and appearance of the hand or arm after trauma or congenital conditions.

9. Foot and Ankle Disorders

• Bunions, Hammertoes, and Flat Feet: Treatment options for common foot deformities that affect posture and movement.
• Ankle Sprains and Fractures: Diagnosis and treatment of ankle injuries, including sprains, strains, and fractures.
• Heel Pain and Plantar Fasciitis: Treatment for conditions that cause chronic heel pain, often related to inflammation of the foot’s tissue.

10. Geriatric Orthopaedics

• Osteoporosis: Prevention and treatment of bone thinning in older adults to reduce fracture risk.
• Hip Fractures: Special care for older adults who suffer from hip fractures, including surgery, rehabilitation, and recovery strategies.
• Joint Pain and Stiffness: Managing musculoskeletal pain and mobility issues common in aging adults.
